NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.I

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 22, 1905.

Application filed March 25, 1905. Serial No. 251,975.

1"0 @ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES M. CoNLEY, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State ofOhio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Non-Relillable Bottles; and I hereby declare the following to be a full,clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in non-refillable bottles.

rl`he object of this invention is to provide a bottle of this characterwhich is very simple in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a central section of a bottleembodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a section on line 2 2, Fig. 1. Fig. 3is a view of the upper portion of the bottle inverted.

Again referring to the drawings, t represents the body of the bottle,and Z) the upper or neck portion thereof. A seat Z is formed at thejunction of the body portion and neck portion, in which is formed anopening Z2 for the passage of the liquid from the body of the bottleinto the neck portion. Around the opening Z22 is formed a verticalflange b3. Above the seat Z/ the channel of the neck Z is enlarged,

` as at Z5, and a shoulder Z1* is formed therein.

Within the neck Z is arranged a small cylinder or tube c, preferablyformed of glass and closed at its upper end. This cylinder c is arrangedto rest on the seat Z and inclose the vertical iiange b3. Around thecylinder c is arranged a tube or cylinder Z, which has a cap Z5 at itsupper end. The upper part of the cylinder Z is smaller in diameter thanthe lower part, but is of suflieient diameter to allow the cylinder c toslide freely therein. At the point where the cylinder Z begins to bereduced in size the walls of the cylinder are thickened and a shoulderZl is formed. In the shoulder Z are formed vertically-arranged holesCZZ, which communicate with the interior of the said cylinder CZ. Theseholes Z2 are comparatively long and narrow, so as to prevent anyinstrument being inserted therein and brought into contact with the tubeo. In

the cap Z5 of the tube Z are formed openings (Z3. On the lower end ofthe cylinder Z is formed a flange Zt e represents a filling of cork orother suitable material arranged around the cylinder Z and adapted to becompressed into the enlargement 55 in the neck ofthe bottle and abutagainst the flange Zi on the cylinder Z and the shoulder Z4, formed inthe neck of the bottle, thereby forming a lock, which prevents thecylinder from being withdrawn from the neck of the bottle. The mouth ofthe bottle can be closed in the usual manner by a cork f.

'When using the bottle, the bottle is first filled with the liquid andthen the cylinders o and Z are inserted, so as to .rest on the seat Z2',and the filling e is compressed and forced down into the neck, so as torest on the flange Z f of the cylinder Z and lock the said cylinder onthe seat Z.

Vhen it is desired to pour the liquid from the bottle, the bottle isinverted and the liq' uid enters the inside cylinder c, causing it tomove down and occupy the position shown in Fig. 3. After the cylinder chas been filled with the liquid the liquid will overliow and run outthrough the holes Z2, formed in the cylinder cZ. Vhen the bottle isreplaced on its base or bottom, the cylinder o will move down and againoccupy its first position on the seat Z'. v

If an attempt is made to refill the bottle, the liquid poured in at themouth of the bottle will pass into the opening' Z3 in the cap of thecylinder Z and remain on top of the cylinder c, and the added weight ofthis liquid will hold the cylinder more firmly on the seat Z2', andalthough some of the liquid will pass through the holes Z2 into thespace between the cylinder Z and cylinder c it will not be able to passdown into the bottle.

What I claim is- 1. In a non-reiillable bottle, the combination with thebottle of a seat formed in the channel of the neck portion, a tubeclosed at its top and arranged to rest on said seat and close saidchannel, an outer tube having openings in its side and a cap at itsupper end and arranged to inclose said first-mentioned tube so as toallow the said first-mentioned tube to slide freely therein and meansfor locking said outer tube in the neck of the bottle.

2. In a non-refillable bottle, the combination with the bottle of a seatformed in the channel of the neck portion, a tube closed yat its top andarranged to rest on said seat and close said channel, an outer tubeprovided with openings and having a cap at its upper end and arranged torest on said seat and inclose the` first-mentioned tube so as to allowthe said first-mentioned tube to slide freely therein, a fiange formedon the lower end of said outer tube and means for locking said I'iangeon said seat.

3. In a non-refillable bottle,'the combination with the bottle proper ofa seat formed in the channel of the neck portion, a shoulder formed onthe wall of said channel above said seat, a tube closed at its top andarranged to rest on -said seat and close said channel, an outer tubehaving openings formed in its side and a cap at its upper end andarranged to rest on said seat and inclose said first-mentioned tube soas to allow said first-mentioned tube to slide freely therein, a iiangeformed on said outer tube and a filling arranged around said outer tubeand abutting against said iange and said shoulder so as to lock saidouter tube on said seat, substantially as described and for the purposeset forth.

4. In anon-refillable bottle, the combination with the bottle proper ofa seat formed in the lower part of the neck portion, said seat beingprovided with a central orifice, a vertical iiange arranged around saidorifice, a shoulder formed in said neck above said seat, a tube closedat its upper end and arranged to rest on said seat around said verticalflange, a perforated outer tube arranged to inclose said first-mentionedtube so as to allow said firstmentioned tube to slide freely therein, aflange formed on the lower end of' said outer tube and abutting againstsaid flange and said shoulder, substantially as described and for thepurpose set forth.

5. In anon-refillable bottle, the combination with the bottle proper ofa seat formed in the channel of the neck portion, a tube closed at itstop and arranged to rest on said seat and close said channel, an outertube arranged to rest on said seat and inclose said first-mentionedt'u'be so as to allow the said first-mentioned tube to slide freelytherein, which said outer tube has a greater diameter at its bottom thanat its top and has its walls thickened where the wide portion mergesinto the narrow portion, and is provided with vertically-arranged holesformed in the thickened portion of said wall and communicating with theinterior of said tube and means for locking said outer tube in the neckof said bottle, substantially as described and for the purpose setforth.

6. In anon-refillable bottle, the combination with the bottle proper ofa seat formed in the lower part of the neck portion, said seat beingprovided with a central orifice, a vertical iiange arranged around saidseat, a tube closed at its upper end and arranged to rest on said seataround said vertical iiange, a shoulder formed in said neck above saidseat, an outer tube provided with openings arranged to inclose saidfirst-mentioned tube so as to allow said `first-mentioned tube to slidefreely therein, a flange formed on the lower end of said outer tube anda filling arranged around said outer tube and abutting against the saidflange and the said shoulder formed in the neck portion, A

substantially as described and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I sign the foregoing specification in the presenceof two witnesses.
